What is Sports Massage?

Sports massage is a massage approach adapted to the muscles of people who exercise regularly. Before training or competition it can be shorter and invigorating; afterward it can be slower and aimed at recovery. The therapist focuses on the muscle groups you work, and may combine kneading, friction, pressure and stretching. The U.S. National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) lists sports massage as a type of massage. A 2018 systematic review of muscle soreness after exercise (Dupuy and colleagues) reported that massage appeared to be the most effective of the recovery methods studied for reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and perceived fatigue. Telling your therapist which sport you do and about any recent injuries before the session lets the work be adjusted to you.

Typical session length

Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes. Pre-competition sessions are kept short; post-training or general care sessions can be longer.

Who is it suitable for?

It suits people who run, work out, play team sports or cycle regularly, and those who want care that supports muscle recovery during heavy training periods.

Who should avoid it, and what to watch for

If you have a fresh tear, sprain, fracture or swelling, talk to a doctor or physiotherapist before a massage; direct massage on an injured area is not recommended. If you had recent surgery or take blood thinners, tell your massage therapist.

What happens in a session?

At the start you share which sport you do, whether you trained recently, and any history of pain or injury. The therapist concentrates on the muscle groups you use and adds stretches when needed. Right before a competition, a light and invigorating session is discussed instead of heavy pressure. Afterward it helps to drink water and put off heavy exertion.

Frequently asked questions about Sports Massage

Should I get a sports massage before or after training?

Either can work. A pre-training massage is short and invigorating; afterward it is slower and aimed at recovery. Before an important competition, it makes sense to talk to your therapist and coach before trying something new.

Does sports massage help muscle soreness?

A 2018 review reports that massage appeared effective compared with other recovery methods at reducing delayed onset muscle soreness and perceived fatigue after exercise. If pain lasts several days or becomes sharp, see a health professional.

Does sports massage replace treatment for an injury?

No. Sports massage is a care and relaxation session; it does not diagnose an injury or offer a treatment plan. If you suspect an injury, see a doctor or physiotherapist.

Can I get a sports massage if I do not play sports?

Yes. The techniques can be applied to anyone, but the pressure can be firm. If you are new to massage, starting with classic massage may be more comfortable.
